October 2, 2022 – American Hockey League (AHL) – Tucson Roadrunners News Release
Tucson, Arizona – The Tucson Roadrunners have announced the Training Camp Schedule for the 2022-2023 season, which begins Monday, October 3 at 11 a.m. at the Tucson Arena.
The Roadrunners will have four days of practice ahead of their Preseason Opener on Friday, October 7. Tucson will host the Henderson Silver Knights at the Tucson Arena, before heading on the road to face Henderson at the Dollar Loan Center on Sunday, October 9 at 3 p.m.
Henderson will be the sole preseason opponent for Tucson for the second-straight year, after the Roadrunners and Silver Knights met for three exhibition contests ahead of the 2021-2022 regular season. The first matchup of the three-game slate took place at the Tucson Arena on October 6, 2021; while games two and three occurred October 10 and 11 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
The Roadrunners won two of the three games, with then-rookie forward Matias Maccelli leading the team with three points in the preseason (1g 2a).
Tucson, the AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes, will stay in Henderson and open the 2022-2023 Regular Season against the AHL affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights with a pair of games on Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 15 at 3 p.m. The Roadrunners will start the season as the designated away team for the fourth-straight year.
